I'm a software engineer & 20yr Labour member: my open letter to the PM on our dangerous trajectory. Banning VPNs & mandating device scanning demolishes privacy for everyone: www.jimmyff.co.uk/blog/open-le... cc: @openrightsgroup.org @eff.org #DigitalPrivacy #Encryption #UKpolitics #OnlineSafetyAct

Added experimental Vim/Helix modal editing to my notes app. It's basic but already handy, here's `goto_word` jumping to a word on Android. Curious if anyone else would use this? #pkm #vim #helix #motions #indiedev #notes

Most note apps sync through someone else's server. Mine syncs through Git. Your repo, your control, your history. No backend, no lock-in. Works on mobile too! #privacy #pkm #notes #git #markdown #selfhosted

Built for everywhere: Mac, Linux, Windows, Android, iOS. Added scrubbing gestures for quick navigation on small screens. Plus a compact mode for tiny devices like the Unihertz Titan and Clicks Communicator! #pkm #notes #crossplatform #BringBackBlackberry

I kept losing things in my own notes, search would show me one result per file and it was never the right one. So I fixed it -every line indexed, every match shown, instant and entirely offline! Feels pretty magical! ✨ Coming very soon. #pkm #notes #markdown #indiedev

Your notes shouldn't live on someone else's server. I've been working on something to fix that and it's very nearly ready! #pkm #notes #privacy #markdown #productivity

What's your "no one but me remembers" game? Not sure if this qualifies as it isn't entirely obscure, but Sacrifice from Shiny Entertainment back in 2000 was an absolute gem! A first person strategy game that was totally original and had some of the best multiplayer I've ever experienced! 🔥
